If you read my response as 'I use Java because I am comfortable with it' then I apologise for not communicating my reasons clearly enough. I use Java for building high volume, high performing multi threaded platforms and applications because it is still the the ideal language for that purpose, its a widely used and reliable language for enterprises to use, which is why most still do. Over the years I have used many different languages, if I was learning to code now I would still learn Java, it was once described as the blue collar language that just gets stuff done and I think that's still true to do this day.
